# bibigpt-skill — Video Summarizer Agent Skill

**Claude Code · Codex · ChatGPT · OpenClaw · Cursor.** Summarize YouTube, Bilibili, podcasts, and local files via the `bibi` CLI or hosted MCP.

AI Agent skills for [BibiGPT](https://bibigpt.co). **Multiple skills, one CLI (`bibi`), one account.**

| Skill | When to use |
|-------|-------------|
| `bibi` | Watch a video: summarize, transcript, chapters |
| `bibi-library` | Already-saved videos, notes, collections, in-library search |
| `bibi-feed` | Subscribe to channels, pull latest, mark seen |
| `bibi-vision` | Frames / OCR / slides, mind map |

`npx skills add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill` still installs `bibi` (existing onboarding). Add a sibling with `--skill`:

```bash
npx skills add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill --skill bibi-library
npx skills add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill --skill bibi-feed
npx skills add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill --skill bibi-vision
```

Agent landing: [bibigpt.co/mcp](https://bibigpt.co/mcp). Hand-held per-host install pages: [bibigpt.co/agent](https://bibigpt.co/agent) (ChatGPT, Claude Code, OpenClaw, WorkBuddy, Doubao Work, QwenWork, DeepSeek Harness).

Ways to use:
1. **Agent plugin** — one install adds the hosted MCP server plus all 4 skills: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot (see below)
2. **BibiGPT Desktop + CLI Skill** — install `bibi` CLI, works with Claude Code / OpenClaw / Codex / WorkBuddy / QwenWork / Doubao Work / DeepSeek Harness
3. **Remote MCP Server** — zero install, works with any MCP client (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.): `https://bibigpt.co/api/mcp`
4. **OpenAPI** — direct HTTP calls for containers, CI, or custom integrations

Every plugin signs in with OAuth on first use — no API key to paste.

### Install as a Claude Code plugin

```
/plugin marketplace add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill
/plugin install bibi@bibigpt
```

On Claude Code 2.1.275 or later, one line works: `/plugin install bibi --marketplace JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill`.

### Install as a Codex plugin

From the terminal:

```bash
codex plugin marketplace add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill
codex plugin add bibi@bibigpt
```

Or inside a Codex session: `/plugin marketplace add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill`,
then install `bibi` from the marketplace tab in `/plugins`. Also works in the
Codex IDE extension (Settings → Plugins) and the ChatGPT desktop app
(Work / Codex).

### Install in Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini extensions install https://github.com/JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill
```

Then run `/mcp auth bibigpt` once.

### Install in Cursor or GitHub Copilot

The repo is also a Cursor plugin (`.cursor-plugin/plugin.json` + `.mcp.json`) and an
[Agent Plugins](https://agent-plugins.org) package (`plugin.json` + `mcp.json`) for GitHub Copilot.
Without a marketplace, add the MCP server directly:

```json
{ "mcpServers": { "bibigpt": { "url": "https://bibigpt.co/api/mcp" } } }
```

The server is also in the official MCP Registry as `io.github.JimmyLv/bibigpt`.

## Skill Structure

```
skills/
├── bibi/                 # Watch: summarize / subtitle / chapter
├── bibi-library/         # Saved videos, notes, collections
├── bibi-feed/            # Channel subscribe + latest feed
└── bibi-vision/          # Frames, OCR, mind map
```

Each directory has `SKILL.md` (intent + triggers), `references/` (auth, CLI), and `workflows/` where a multi-step path exists. All four skills call the same `bibi` binary — there is no second npm package named `video-cli`.

```

```

## Workflows

`bibi` (watch-video) workflows:

| Workflow | What it does | Trigger examples |
|----------|-------------|-----------------|
| **Quick Summary** | One URL → AI summary | "summarize this video", "总结" |
| **Deep Dive** | Chapter-by-chapter + Q&A | "chapter summary", "分章节总结" |
| **Transcript Extract** | Raw subtitles with timestamps | "get subtitles", "获取字幕" |
| **Article Rewrite** | Video → polished article | "turn into article", "AI改写" |
| **Batch Process** | Multiple URLs at once | "batch summarize", "批量总结" |
| **Research Compile** | Cross-source synthesis | "compare these videos", "综合分析" |
| **Export Notes** | Save to Notion/Obsidian/file | "save to Notion", "导出笔记" |

Sibling skills own the rest: `bibi-library` (saved library / notes / collections), `bibi-feed` (channels / latest), `bibi-vision` (frames / mind map).

## Quick Start

### 1. Install Desktop App

```bash
curl -fsSL https://bibigpt.co/install.sh | bash
```

Works on **macOS** (auto-uses Homebrew), **Linux** (downloads AppImage), and detects Windows (prompts to use winget).

Or install manually per platform:
- **macOS**: `brew install --cask jimmylv/bibigpt/bibigpt` ([Homebrew tap](https://github.com/JimmyLv/homebrew-bibigpt))
- **Windows**: `winget install BibiGPT --source winget` or download from [bibigpt.co/download/desktop](https://bibigpt.co/download/desktop)
- **Linux**: Download `.deb` / `.AppImage` from [bibigpt.co/download/desktop](https://bibigpt.co/download/desktop)

Then log in: `bibi auth login` (opens browser for OAuth, saves token automatically).

### 2. Install Skill

#### Claude Code

```bash
npx skills add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill
```

#### OpenClaw

```bash
npx skills add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill --agents OpenClaw --yes
```

#### DeepSeek Harness

```bash
dsh plugin --profile web add "github:JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill#path:/dsh-plugin"
```

Restart the profile and `/bibi` shows up under **Skills**. Keep the quotes —
`#` starts a shell comment. Source and the disk-copy alternative live in
[`dsh-plugin/`](./dsh-plugin). Copying `skills/bibi` into `~/.agents/skills/bibi`
also works (shared with Claude Code).

#### WorkBuddy (Tencent)

Download: [workbuddy.cn](https://www.workbuddy.cn/). Skills live in
`~/.workbuddy/skills/<name>/SKILL.md`.

```bash
npx skills add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill -g -y
```

WorkBuddy custom skills need `agent_created: true` in the SKILL.md frontmatter
(this repo includes it). Then `/reload-skills` or restart the app.

Fallback: copy `skills/bibi` to `~/.workbuddy/skills/bibi`.

Step-by-step: https://bibigpt.co/agent/workbuddy

#### 豆包工作 / Doubao Work

Download desktop: [doubao.com/download/desktop](https://www.doubao.com/download/desktop).
Doubao Work does **not** publish a filesystem skill directory — do not invent
`~/.doubao/skills`.

In the desktop sidebar open **技能 · 连接器 · 伙伴**, create a skill named `bibi`,
and paste
[skills/bibi/SKILL.md](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill/main/skills/bibi/SKILL.md).

Step-by-step: https://bibigpt.co/agent/doubao

#### 千问工作 / QwenWork

App: [qwenwork.cn](https://qwenwork.cn/). Skill dir: `~/.qwenworkcn/skills/`.
Paste this into QwenWork:

```text
Please download https://github.com/JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill and copy skills/bibi to ~/.qwenworkcn/skills/bibi
```

QwenWork clones and loads the skill from chat. Docs:
https://help.aliyun.com/zh/qwenwork/skills

Step-by-step: https://bibigpt.co/agent/qwenwork

### 3. Usage

Ask your agent to summarize any video, audio URL, or **local file**:

```
> Summarize this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxx
> Summarize this local file: /path/to/meeting-recording.mp4
```

The agent will automatically detect the best mode and route to the right workflow.

### Commands

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `bibi summarize "<URL>"` | Summarize a video/audio URL |
| `bibi summarize "/path/to/file.mp4"` | Summarize a local audio/video file |
| `bibi summarize "<INPUT>" --async` | Async mode (long videos) |
| `bibi summarize "<INPUT>" --chapter` | Chapter-by-chapter summary |
| `bibi summarize "<INPUT>" --subtitle` | Fetch subtitles/transcript only |
| `bibi summarize "<INPUT>" --json` | Full JSON output |
| `bibi auth check` | Check auth status |
| `bibi auth login` | OAuth login via browser (saves token automatically) |
| `bibi check-update` | Check for new version |
| `bibi upgrade` | Download and install latest version (alias: `self-update`) |

---

### Updating

BibiGPT ships **three independently updateable layers**. Pick the one that matches what you want refreshed.

| Layer | Updates | Command | When to run |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Skill content** (workflows, references, intent router) | npm-distributed, manual | `npx skills update JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill` | Weekly, or when changelog adds a new MCP tool / workflow |
| **`bibi` desktop CLI** (binary + embedded SKILL.md + manifest dispatcher) | Self-update or package manager | `bibi upgrade` *(or `brew upgrade --cask bibigpt` / `winget upgrade BibiGPT`)* | When the changelog mentions CLI changes |
| **Remote MCP server** (`https://bibigpt.co/api/mcp`) | Always latest, server-side | *automatic* — restart your MCP client to pick up new tools | Never manually; happens server-side |

#### Update the skill

```bash
npx skills update JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill
```

The skill **does not auto-update** — Agents read whatever was last fetched. Re-run when you want new BibiGPT capabilities, fixed workflows, or new MCP tools surfaced. For a clean reinstall:

```bash
npx skills remove JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill && npx skills add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill
```

The [GitHub Releases page](https://github.com/JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill/releases) tracks what each version changed.

#### Update the bibi CLI

```bash
bibi check-update    # peek at the latest published version
bibi upgrade         # download and install (uses brew on macOS, installer on Windows)
```

Or via package manager: `brew upgrade --cask bibigpt` / `winget upgrade BibiGPT --source winget` / fresh download from [bibigpt.co/download/desktop](https://bibigpt.co/download/desktop).

> **Manifest is hot-cached, not embedded.** Even without `bibi upgrade`, the CLI dispatcher fetches `https://bibigpt.co/api/cli-manifest.json` on first call (24h TTL) — newly-released agent procedures show up the next day. `bibi upgrade` only matters when the dispatcher itself or the embedded `SKILL.md` changes.

#### Update the MCP server

Nothing to do — the remote MCP endpoint always serves the latest `meta.mcp.enabled` tool list. **Restart your MCP client** (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) if you don't see a newly-released tool — that refreshes its `tools/list` cache.

> **Note**: The desktop app build is triggered via the `build-tauri-desktop-app` GitHub Actions workflow. After a successful build, artifacts are uploaded to OSS and the `latest.json` manifest is updated automatically — the client checks this manifest for update availability.

---

## Remote MCP Server (No Install Required)

BibiGPT also provides a remote MCP server at `https://bibigpt.co/api/mcp` — works with any MCP-compatible client. Streamable HTTP transport with OAuth 2.1 authentication.

```bash
# List available tools (no auth needed for discovery)
curl -X POST https://bibigpt.co/api/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

# Summarize a video (requires auth)
curl -X POST https://bibigpt.co/api/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"summarize_video","arguments":{"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxx"}}}'
```
